Stuck in the Land of Lost

We finished up Lost season 3 a few days ago and Chris decided he wanted to watch season 2 again.  Argh.  I’m going to be burned out on Lost before season 4 starts next week.  See, Chris has been a Lost fan since day 1.  I was more reluctant.  Mainly because I just don’t trust any JJ Abrams series to last more than a few seasons without disintegrating into crap.  Felicity, Alias- both started out strong.  I’m still bitter about Alias.  I loved that show, first two seasons especially.  Then it went downhill.  And after they killed off Vaughn in season 5 I was so pissed I completely stopped watching until the finale.  And I’m still irritated they killed off Jack and that Irina turned out to be a bad guy after all.  And that Rambaldi stuff was really stupid.  Anyway- back to Lost.  I know that JJ is not the only creative mind behind Lost so hopefully this series will be different.  But there has been such a buildup that I’m not sure they can ever resolve everything in a satisfying way.  For example- Chris had never seen Gone With The Wind.  So we rented it one night and watched it and after the final scene Chris turns to me and says, “You mean I sat through this whole movie and THAT’S how it ends?!”  Um, yeah.  I’m afraid that’s what’s going to happen with Lost.  “You mean I sat through all these seasons of Lost and THAT’S how it ends?!”  We’ll see.
